I am working on a PCMCIA driver for one of our cards.
this driver currently works, but I can not unload(rmmod) it once it
ha loaded.
I have tried matching all the resource creation/allocations against
destruction/deallocations,
and can't find a mismatch. I get no messages hinting at a problem
in dmesg.
Are there any tools, suggestions things to look at, to how to figure
out what I might have left undone
when exiting the driver ?
I have a PCI version of the same driver (just different defines when
compiling) an that does not exhibit this problem,
so it is very likely I missed something PCMCIA specific.
I have compared to several other drivers without seeing anything
obvious.
Thank you.
